Selecting sections
Hello,
I do quite a lot of document amalgamation where I need to select an entire section from document and either move it within a document or copy it to another document. Is there a keyboard shortcut or a quick method of selecting a section within a document. -- Thanks, MarkN |

Selecting sections
Create a macro that you assign to the keyboard that contains the command
Selection.Sections(1).Range.Select When you run that macro, it will select the section in which the selection is located. -- Hope this helps.

Selecting sections
Hi ?B?TWFya04=?=,
I do quite a lot of document amalgamation where I need to select an entire section from document and either move it within a document or copy it to another document. Is there a keyboard shortcut or a quick method of selecting a section within a document. There's a built in \Section bookmark: Insert/Bookmark. Type \Section then click GoTo to select the current section. You can combine that with Edit/GoTo (F5) if you need to jump to the section first. If each section starts with a Heading (or another paragraph with an Outline level) you could also use the Outline view. Click on the "+" next to the heading and it should select all the text to the next heading of the same level (which would be the entire section).

Selecting sections
Hi Mark
You could try browsing by selection (Ctrl+Alt+Home and select Section). Use mouse or Ctrl+PgUp/Ctrl+Down to go to beginning of the selection that you want to copy or move. Press F8 (extend selection) then Ctrl+PgDown to select that selection. Hope this helps "MarkN" wrote: Hello, I do quite a lot of document amalgamation where I need to select an entire section from document and either move it within a document or copy it to another document.
